%IEEE allows italicized abstract
{\em
This is the abstract of my paper.  It must fit within the
size allowed, which is about 3 inches, including section
title, which is 11 point bold font.  If you don't want
the text in italics, simply remove the 'em' command and
the curly braces which bound the abstract text.  If you
have em commands within an italicized abstract, the text
will come out as normal (non-italicized) text.

\section{Introduction}
Here is my introduction text.  There are 2 blank lines
before the section heading and one afterwards.  Heading
text is 12 point bold font.  Paragraphs are not indented.
I may want a numbered subsection, which is done as
follows.
\subsection{Previous Work}
In subsections there is 1 blank line before the section
heading and one afterwards.  Heading text is 11 point
bold font.  Paragraphs are indented one pica.  There is
no blank line between paragraphs.
Throughout I may cite references of the form
\cite{cohen} or \cite{cohen2}, and LaTeX will keep
track of numbering.  The numbers are based on the order
you place them in the bibliography, not the order they
appear in the text.  They should (I believe) be in
alphabetical order.  LaTex will put square brackets about
the number within the text of your paper.  For those of
you new to the bibliography package, you may have to run
the latex process twice to allow all references to be
resolved. You will get a warning about a missing .aux
file.  Just rerun latex and it will be ok.
\section{Summary and Conclusions}
This template will get you through the minimum article,
i.e. no figures or equations.  To include those, please
refer to your LaTeX manual and the IEEE publications
guidelines.  Good Luck!
%this is how to do an unnumbered subsection
\subsection*{Acknowledgments}
This is how to do an unnumbered subsection, which comes
out in 11 point bold font.  Here I thank my colleagues,
especially Mike Gennert, who know more about Tex and
Latex than I.
